Customer experience: Ana, the owner of a 30m apart Attack House for Airbnb
"As the owner of an tiny house we rent out via Airbnb, we had originally installed an air heat pump. Unfortunately, we were not entirely satisfied because the device needed to be repaired after only one year. In addition, the guests complained about the dry air and the sound of the fan. A friend told us about infrared heating, And we decided to install two heaters in our Attack House. The installation was very simple and we were very positively surprised by the result. Acquisition costs were lower and energy consumption corresponds to those of an air heat pump. Now the air and warmth of the guest house is more pleasant and not as pressing as before. It is silent and economic. Thanks to our smart home thermostat, we can set the temperature individually. It was a fantastic investment that I can recommend to any Airbnb host. We are now getting much better customer reviews that we are sure have to do with improved room quality."
